Pharmacist

Duties and Responsibilities:
Pharmacists prepare prescriptions written by dentist physicians, etc. They review prescriptions to make sure they prepare the correct medication. This can be weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs. When this is done they give them to the patients.
They will answer and questions a customer or patient will have about the medication they are taking. They are in charge of taking inventory and making sure to order any that they are low on.
Pharmacists can work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, and universities. They are to be aware of where every medication is at so they do not direct a customer in the wrong direction
Average Salary: $33,000 - $51,000
Educational Requirements:

If you are interested in this field students should take AP English, science, and math. They should also graduate from a college of pharmacy. Some colleges will admit students from high school but not all the time. It takes about at least five years to earn a pharmacy degree and six years to earn a doctor of pharmacy. 

I'm not too sure about this career. It seems intersting and all but I'm not too sure about going to school for five years. (maybe six if I would want to go that far) So in this career it's a maybe I'm not too sure.
